MAKE THE BREADCRUMBS:
In a small skillet over medium-heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add panko and salt, and stir into the butter until the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Remove from heat, and set aside.
MAKE THE CHEESE SAUCE:
In a medium skillet over medium-heat, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and the pepper; cook until fragrant- 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until foamy and darkened. Whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until reduced by about two-thirds. Take the pan off the heat and whisk in the two cheeses until melted and combined. Set aside.
